Thanks. DW is tired of me hogging the computer to edit photos after we get home from a big trip. She declared that our Christmas to ourselves will be a new one for me to use. This morning I ordered a desktop rig with a Black Friday discount that has an Intel i5 processor, Asus MB, GeForce GTX 1060 card, SSD HD, and 16 GB RAM. Topped it off with a Dell 27" 4K monitor. It's a custom build so now I gotta wait.

Who did you order it from?

That sounds great! Keep us posted on how it goes. We have the same discussion in my house. I’m using several external hard drives for photos, and trying to determine the best way to manage so many. My hard drives keep corrupting. I’m thinking of cloud-based storage. Good luck!

We have been using big HD's from Seagate for external storage for a few years W/O trouble.

Great capture. Really like that the Moon is in it, too.

Thank you. My main computer is about five years old now and sometimes has trouble keeping up.

Playing a lot with black and white lately. Here's a Navajo hogan in Monument Valley, Az.

I would consider this a successful attempt.

Thanks, but the new Ansel Adams look Lightroom preset did all of the work.

Here's Mt. Baker, in WA state, moonlit from my high camp at Skyline Divide. What a gorgeous spot and not too hard a hike, a couple thousand feet.

 

[Ronstar]

Nice JeffinSeattle. I've tried several moonlight shots and the landscapes I've expected to be moonlit just don't come anywhere near as moonlit as in your shot.

Love looking at everyone else's photos but rarely have something to share. I was out last night experimenting with the astrophotography rig. After processing today, looks like it's worth sharing.

Wow!

So I've had the new machine for over a month and used it for editing the last 1/3 of the shots from our Utah national parks trip. The monitor is just awesome compared to our old laptop that I used to use, which seemed really good at the time. Below are Corona Arch, Dead Horse Point, and Delicate Arch.

Those photos are spectacular! You have quite the eye. What type of camera do you use? I recently got into the Sony mirrorless. Do you store your photos on the new computer? Thanks for the update!

Outstanding!
